    You'd have to pay some drug addict to steal them to get them for that price.

    I bought a 1TB external HD for 49€ on tuesday. In these parts that was a jolly good deal. Although the transfer speed through USB2 is annoyingly slow compared to the USB3 HD I built earlier, after all, even though I considered the USB3 also disappointingly slow when I was using it.

    What transfer speeds do you get using USB3?

    I'm getting around 21MB/s write speed on this one (nah, it wasn't overnight.. took a day I think).

    My price was only a little cheaper than what I can buy it for normally (and this "special" was from an otherwise generally expensive site), but it's still considered a pretty good buy here. That fact that I could have it with just a click or two made me buy it.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I'm also getting that same 21MB/s with the USB2 drive. The USB3 drive sports around 51MB/s. I was expecting it to give rates identical to those between internal drives, which are some 20MB/s more, at the very least (well, between my sata and old pata drives, anyway).

    Thats cool, I remember liking them, well this song, when I was young.... and even then knew the difference between music with substance and soulless garbage.

    Not sure why tho when I clicked the link I was expecting some deathcore screaming trashmetal. Seems like thats all anyone does these days. I think I know why, they cant express themselves and reflect their emotions and they need some way to get it out so they just scream. Either that or its just a pathetic trend they think makes you look badass.

    I'm all for screaming over music it just needs to be done right, you need to build up to it and its gotta serve a purpose. A rollercoaster that just goes straight down forever cant be fun and only gonna take you to hell. Wow that was a pretty alright metaphor

    you have any of your stuff online Xan?

    I wasn't going to comment earlier because I was never familiar with Marcy Playground past that one song, but having just come home from the gig I can say that that was one of the best shows I've seen in a while and their frontman is a legitimately creative and talented musician.

    it came to my attention today, that because the bush family has a very limited imagination when it comes to names that Barbara Bush is the mother, wife, daughter and granddaughter of George Bush.

    Texan pride...

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    Yeah youre probly right.... I liked all kinds of nonsense back then. I listened to NOW THATS WHAT I CALL MUSIC in the 90's and the radio hahaha. But this was most assuredly "Alternative" to all that, which made it really stand out from the top of the pops. Lyrics aren't too profound but I like the second verse a lot. Its cool I can remember getting the same feeling from it, all those years ago, that I do now.

    Nothings made me smile today so far.... albeit Azael's sig got a smirk out of me. Yesterday was a good day tho. Met this girl a while back I could tell we were into eachother right away. She had to get home early so we never talked after that. I had to come back to florida for a bit and that was that. Few weeks ago I guess our friend told her I was talking about her and she added me on facebook but didn't engage anything. Yesterday I felt like talking to someone and just got back into it with her right where we left off. Now I have something strong pulling me back towards Jersey.

    And I learned Rocky Raccoon on the ol acoustical. Great song one of my top five beatles tracks. Now I can play 3 count em, 3, songs. Any suggestions what I should learn next? I been playing for a few months.

    Lillium from elfen lied is a pretty good thing for training(especially if you are not into playing chords). It would be also wise to learn scales. I still have tab for it somewhere on the disk, and if i don't i could tab it out for you :P

    What made me smile today was a PM on an audio equipment manufacturer's forum, giving me a serial to new software for my midi keyboard. The old software won't even install on Win 7, so it was no good. Fortunately this company (which isn't even the manufacturer of my keyboard but a firm that bought the original manufacturer some years ago) saw it fit to give me a license to the newer program they have licensed to be shipped with their instruments. It's always nice when you realise good customer support exists.

    So this morning I got startled by a daddy longlegs (Harvestman) at the bathroom sink. It was bobbing up and down drinking water from a stray droplet. I can honestly say that I never thought of these things as "vaguely cute" until I witnessed that behavior.

    In any case, I didn't have anything around to put it outside, so I loosely twisted it up in a tissue and tossed it into my kitchen garbage. I assumed that I had killed it without it releasing its odor defenses too badly.

    This evening as I'm cleaning up after dinner, what do I see crawling out of the garbage but the exact same daddy longlegs. I tossed it outside this time. I admired the thing's tenacity.
